Whoa - they don't allow knitting needles? Is that all international flights? Just the airline? Just the UK?

Mostly the architecture. It's a beautiful place - and I have a fondness for cemeteries anyways. I've been wanting to visit Highgate for about 20 years.

George Eliot, Karl Marx, Douglas Adams... all buried in Highgate.

Yes, interesting people there as well, but I'm really going for the fantastic grave markers.

If ever I hit Europe, it will be a graveyard tour. I love looking at old cemetaries; the oldest ones here only go back to the late 1800's, unless you count Native American burial grounds, which are seriously lacking in cool looking crypts and interesting epitaphs.

Oh, NA- Tori is looking forward to hearing about your nekkid Daniel expericence.

And yet they allow pens.... go figure. Got any dried-up pens around? You got knitting needles! (only put something on the end of them to keep your stuff from slipping off the back)

Heather brings knitting needles on all the time. I'm pretty sure she uses bamboo needles on the plane - it might be the metal ones that are forbidden.

TSA allows knitting needles - I knit on both flights this past week. That's why I was wondering if it's a UK-specific thing. I usually take small projects on the plane, like socks, and I only use bamboo for socks because the metal is so slippery the work slips right off the ends. A knitting needle prohibition on international flights might just confine me to this continent!

Oh, just like that bank-robbery prohibition has been doing for me, lo these many years.
